Something I hinted at earlier here. The ‘Home’ beta is apparently going to be expaning to the media, giving the media outlets of the world a chance to try out Sony’s new service before it launches. According to Kotaku this expansion could mean we’ll be seeing ‘Home’ pretty soon. Which is nice.
There has currently been no date specified when this ‘expansion’ is due to start, but hopefully it’ll be soon. Hey I might get onto Sony about getting me in this thing, after all I am the media.
Whoo more trophies! WarHawk is gonna be the latest game to get Sony’s trophy treatment. The trophies will come packaged with some other stuff in a new update (V 1.5) at the end of the month.
The game will then feature over 50 trophies which will be dished out based on performance, modes, weapons, vehicles and expansion packs. Great news for veteran players is that some of the tophies will be retroactive, which is great. Free trophies!
The official UK Playstation Blog has given some examples of what your gonna see. These sound hard.
Community Building Trophies
– Bandwidth Donor: Host a ranked dedicated server for four consecutive hours.
– Rivalry: Win a clan match (red server) as either clan leader or a regular member.
Game Mode Trophies
– Lone Wolf: Play a perfect Deathmatch (first place, no deaths).
– Survivalist: Survive for one minute as the hero in Hero mode.
Vehicle Trophies
– Taxi Driver: Help a teammate capture the flag (in Capture the Flag) or cores (in Collection) by transporting him back to the base, using any vehicle.
– One In A Million: Shoot down an enemy aircraft using the tank’s main cannon.
Warhawk Weapons Trophies
– How Did You Do That?: Destroy an enemy aircraft with a Cluster Bomb.
– Tail Shaker: Destroy an enemy aircraft with an Aerial Mine within five seconds of deploying it.
They sound like a bit a challence. I think I might just go for the easy ones. The new update will also include 20 new paint schemes for aircraft, 50 new insignias, a playable training mode and custom soundtrack support from the Home menu.
Another great update from the WarHawk guys and it’s free too. There seems to be a lot of talk about Home lately, we must be getting close.

Well here we go Activision have released the box art for their upcoming “Complete Band Game”, Guitar Hero: World Tour. As you can see Activision are making it perfectly clear to consumers that this game has more than just guitars in it. Well thought out Activision I still won’t be buying the bundle though (pictured above).

So yesterday I said it’d be cool if LBP embraced other videogame franchises by having themed Sackboys based around prominent game characters (i.e. Solid Snake). Anyway, thanks to Kotaku and GameSpot I have found the ultimate sackboy, yes ‘Solid Sackboy’ is real! Sadly only in Photoshop form. I’d still really love it if Media Molecule did this, it be sweet. There’s an image of said Sack above.
